Lemniscate FunctionThe lemniscate functions arise in rectifying the Arc Length of the Lemniscate. The lemniscate functionswere first studied by Jakob Bernoulli and G. Fagnano. A historical account is given byAyoub (1984), and an extensive discussion by Siegel (1969). The lemniscate functions were the first functions defined byinversion of an integral, which was first done by Gauß.
